Sable The Glader Girl

Summary: When Sable arrives in The Box, she doesn't remember who she is. Then she meets Newt, who welcomes her with kindness. But when Sable begins to remember things, she begins to question her own existence.

Chapter 1 - The Box

You are going to make
change, Sable. Good change. The world needs people like you; people who are different
and unique. People like yourself are a crucial segment of a large entirety. Do
not fear this confronting idea. Embrace it. We have high hopes for you. And
just remember: WICKED is good.

I gasp and open my eyes wide in shock, then squint as a
claustrophobic darkness greets me.

Where
am I?

I jolt upright into a sitting position and smack my head against
something hard in the process. I rebound off whatever hit my head and collapse
back down to the ground. Rubbing my aching forehead, I slowly and cautiously
sit myself up again and use my other hand to feel around in front of me.

I
encounter a cool and solid material that appears to be metal. Working my way
around, I crawl on all fours and reach about blindly; trying to make sense of
where I am. After my investigation, I conclude that I am in a small metal box
with a very low roof. Not only this, but there seemed to be supplies with me as
well.

Including live animals.

A squeal from a pig in the cage in the corner
startles me from my thoughts. I back against one of the walls to distance
myself from the pig, but then another loud noise from a goat behind me makes me
move in a different direction. When I eventually find a spot to sit down, I
wrap my arms tightly around myself and bury my head in my knees. My teeth begin
chattering but it isn’t cold. My body begins shaking but I’m not moving. My
breathing becomes rapid but there is plenty of oxygen. Calm down, you’re going to be alright – but a loud clanking noise
cuts off my thoughts and I am tossed to the ground face-first as the box I am
in begins to ascend.

I scramble around desperately to find something to grab
onto, but I find nothing. The box moves faster and faster and I glance upwards
in terror. Whatever calm I had previously established disappeared as I realize
I have no idea where I am or where I am going.

My chest rises and falls in
quick succession as my breathing increases again. I let out a whimper of fear
as I stay glued to the floor; my fingers clutching at the metal. Just when I
have convinced myself that I may just die, the box comes to a complete halt.
The sudden stop of movement causes my body to fling forward and smack into the
wall again. I detach myself from the wall and quickly spin around as a noise of
metal grinding against metal sounds from above me.

A small thread of light
creates a horizontal line through the roof. As the crack of light grows, so
does the sound of an alarm and a series of different voices:

“Greenie time.”

“Alby better get his shuck face here.”

“I’ll bet Frypan’s dinner that he’s gonna be a slinthead.”

“Great, another Glader to make life harder.”

Using my hands, I shield my face from the harsh gleam, which
slowly fades as shadows surround me. Once I believe that I can see properly, I
warily remove my hand.

Your story was fantastic Erin! The Rising Sun was one of the first stories I read on Inkitt, and I have to say I don't regret the three to four days I spent pouring through the story.Probably the biggest strength I see in your writing is your characterisation of Eliana, Oriens, and the rest of th...

I was intrigued from the second I started reading, and it kept my interest the whole way through. Chelsea has a way with words that will enchant you until the very end. She is very poetic with the way she mixes genres and keeps you on the edge of your seat. The main character is also very relat...

Playing both Kotor I & II and Swtor I found the story line interesting and it held me until chapter 35 Very good story and plot flow until then, very few technical errors. I felt that the main character was a bit under and over powered, as it fought for balance. The last few chapters felt too f...

Alex Rushmer:
This was not what I expected, but I enjoyed it a lot Malfoy was always one of the characters that I liked a lot, so I like that a lot of this happens between him and Colette. I read the first couple chapters, and I enjoyed your writing style and am excited to see where you take this story. My com...

Jenn Deering:
This is a go-to story for when you're needing a little happiness in your life. It's well-crafted, and characters are true to their show-selves. The pace is right, there are minimal grammatical errors, and the plot is fresh.

Alex Reltin:
This is a great story! I love how well you go into detail and emotions of Capri, and Mel. You have amazing dialogue and overall it's just a thrill to read!The only critique I could find is that some of the paragraphs should be separated. For example:-"If Nia would have just let me take the car an...

Jean Tryon:
As a beta, I found this story outstanding!! Plot, grammar, phraseology, etc Rachel gives us it all. She takes the story into the future from where due South ends. She is an exacting and thoughtful author.

Animeviewer:
It is one of the best stories I've ever read. This story will have you riding a roller coaster of emotions and nearly dying to know what happens next.You will get very attached to the characters and in my case I relate well with some of their very traumatic or emotional experiences, Just Juliet f...

Sandra Estrada:
I loved every minute of it and I thank my lucky stars that brought me to the story, it's been a whirlwind of emotions, plot twist after plot twist but I never got tired of them. Abby and Kade's story is a hard one to understand but once you're submerged in their story and love, you can't help but...
